Fact Check
BOOM did a reverse image search on the image and found that it has been digitally altered.
We found the original image in an article published in Times of India on November 22, 2021. The headline of the article reads 'Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal accepts dinner invite at auto driver's house in Ludhiana'. The image shows neither alcohol glasses nor non-vegetarian meal.
The report mentions that during the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) campaign in Punjab, an autorickshaw driver Dilip Kumar Tiwari invited the Delhi CM for dinner at his residence. Accepting his invite, Kejriwal along with Bhagwat Mann and Harpal Singh Cheema visited Tiwari's house for dinner.
A video of Kejriwal's and Mann's dinner at Twari's residence was also shared from the official Twitter account Times of India's Chandigarh edition on November 22, 2021. The tweet read "#Punjab: #AamAadmiParty (AAP) national convener and #Delhi chief minister #ArvindKejriwal having dinner at the house of an auto-rickshaw driver in #Ludhiana'.
Aam Aadmi Party's official Twitter handle also tweeted about the dinner.
